Educational Travel Services

In 1974, a young pastor named Dr. Jim Ridgway visited the Holy Land and returned forever changed. He discovered that walking where biblical history unfolded transformed not only the way he preached and studied Scripture, but also the lives of those who traveled with him. From that experience, Educational Travel Services (ETS) was born.

What began in Dr. Ridgway’s garage has grown into the world’s largest provider of Christian travel, leading more than 350,000 travelers on faith-based journeys over 45+ years.

This channel brings faith, history, and Scripture to life through biblical insights, travel guidance, destination highlights, church history, cruises, pilgrimages, and Christian travel inspiration. From the Holy Land and Journeys of Paul to European heritage and faith-based cruises, ETS helps travelers explore the world with purpose.
